3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find information and leave feedback, March 5, 2008

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRRY10532 18-Inch 40cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

I received the unit today and put the chain on, added fuel, and chain oil. The unit had sawdust inside the unit and overall not very clean, this does not seem to fit reconditioned description, more like used. It took me awhile to get it started probably because gas and oil were drained and was hard to start hopefully it will be fine.
Now the reason I left feedback here is even following instructions from Amazon I can't seem to find how to get additional information on the product such as warrenty info and service and perhaps let them know the overall condition of the unit in case of any problems.

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Ryobi ZRRY10532 18-Inch 40cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)

When I first opened the box, I was impressed that they had included a brand new chain bar and chain with this refurbished saw. However, after I put the saw together and started it up, my opinion changed. The flywheel rubs against the inside of the housing - it actually rubbed a thin strip of metal off of it and gouged the inside of the housing. I figured, no problem, I'll return it. I soon found out Amazon does not let you return gas powered items (funny, they had no problem shipping it w/ gas and oil in it). Lesson learned- read the small print on Amazon, or better yet, don't buy anything with moving parts.

I bought one from CPO as a reconditioned unit. Came with bar, chain, manual and bar-tool. Did not come with case or other accessories. First time I tried to run it, it spit solvent from the muffler and ran way too rich (fat). So I ordered the "Double D" carb adjusting tool from Randys Small Engines.

In about a week I had my tool and set about getting it right. Fired it up and turned the high speed down jet to about 1 3/4 turns and low speed down to just under 1 1/2 turns. Runs fine now. Has good power, but likes to wind. If you load it too hard it will bog. This same motor is used by the RC Model Plane folks. It's made by Zenoah.

Comes stock with Carlton semi-chisel chain and that's a pretty aggressive chain, so it can load the motor pretty easily. Might have been better to put a VG style chain on it, but that's what it comes with. If you just let the saw do the cutting and don't lean on it at all, it'll plow through most anything. I have cut 3 14"+ standing oaks and it runs fine.

Nice oiler. Has primer bulb and choke. Needs to warm up on 1/2 choke and then you're off to the races. Is sensitive to oil quality. A while back I learned my lessons about using TWC-3 outboard oil in air cooled high speed 2-strokes when I stuck a ring and ate a motor on another saw. Use only JASO FC / ISO EGD oil for air cooled 2-strokes and you'll be fine. I use Motul 710 or Valvoline 2T, but there are lots of other choices including G-Oil that all rate EGD or EGD+. G-Oil is US made and is biodegradable so that may be a good choice when my stock of existing oil runs out.

I case anyone is interested, I'm over 50 and used to work for Forestry Dept. Grew up on a farm and heated the house with fire wood only so Pa and I cut 5~7 cords a year just for home. I sold fire wood for a while and I still cut 2~3 cords of hardwood for my current house. I own and run 7 chainsaws. Some with special chains like Rapco Carbide for demo and construction, or Carlton ripping chain for stump slicing. This saw is good for limbing and most green wood up to 12" ~14". Above that, get a bigger saw.

Bottom line - good build quality, nice and light, good controls, low vibration, fairly quiet, decent bar and good chain. I'd buy another or recommend it for to a friend. Make sure to get the Double D carb tool, you'll need it.
